Hi guys, I used to scroll through this forum as a teen looking to lose weight after moving continents to live in Germany. As a pre-teen I did a lot of sports in Africa and managed to stay somewhat fit due to that but when I moved to Germany, I found myself hitting mcdonalds a lot with my friends and gained a lot of weight. I am 5’6 so around 167cm.
I’m generally not a sporty person but with some focus I managed to lose weight in 2011, ca 30kgs and I loved it. I looked amazing and felt it as well and met my boyfriend and being in love and visiting a lot of restaurant I gained some weight back and foundyself 40 kgs heavier in 2015. I managed to get focused again and lost the same amount of weight in ca 3-4 months but somehow I let myself go again with stress at work and lack of movement. I am self employed and my livelyhood demanded me working long hours stuck to my desk, where I was focused more on earning money rather than taking care of myself. Now in 2020, I gained it back and quarantine didnt help at all. Thankfully I wasnt hit as hard business wise but I am at my heaviest I think (I havent gotten the courage to step onto a scale in months) and I luckily know how to pose in pictures and dress that it isn’t as visible but I have gotten so uncomfortable in my clothing that I wear such basic clothing which hides my figure.
I do work in the fashion & jewelry business and feel I should feel comfortable in my clothing and be confident in how I look and have decided today is the day I will change my life forever. I’m 31, have a blessed life, have my dream guy for over 8 years and I have everything together except my most important aspect which is my health and happiness in the way I look. I hate feeling umcomforable outside running errands and I just want to be able to live my happiest life without this weight holding me back. It is a great motivator since it is now winter and I have the time to focus on my goals for the Spring/Summer season and now that I have a great routine in my overall life, I really hope I can manage to shift the weight!
